Troubleshooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”), | AUS |
make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list. |
Problem:
The washing machine does not switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
Possible causes / Solutions:
•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
•There is no power in the house.
•The washing machine door is not closed properly.
•The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
•The water tap has not been opened.
•A delayed start has been set.
The washing machine does not fill with water (the text “H2O” flashes on the display).
The washing machine continuously takes in and drains water.
The washing machine does not drain or spin.
•The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
•The hose is bent.
•The water tap has not been opened.
•There is no water supply in the house.
•The pressure is too low.
•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
•The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
•The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).
•The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti- draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

•The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).
•The drainage duct is clogged.
The washing machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.
•The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).
•The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).
•The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).
The washing machine leaks. | • The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”). |
| • The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care |
| and maintenance”). |
| • The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”). |
The “option” and START/PAUSE indicator lights flash rapidly and an error code appears on the display (e.g.:
There is too much foam.
•Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
•The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).
